[Bug 44510] Live installer doesn't generate correct grub menu.list (Beta 2)

[Mikko Saarinen]

Public bug reported:

I have to choose "noapic nolapic" as boot options or else the machine fails to boot.
The installer adds those parameters to the grub menu if they are selected at startup, so they are ready for the next boot. However they are not added to the recovery mode sections of the grub menu, preventing the machine to start in single user mode.

This is a part of my menu.list, so you can see for yourselves:

## ## End Default Options ##
